This study used a nationally representative sample of African American and Caribbean Black adolescent females to examine the relation between perceived pubertal timing relative to peers and discriminatory experiences. Participants included the 607 girls who participated in the National Survey of American Life-Adolescent (NSAL-A), and ranged in age from 13 to 17. Most African American girls perceived their development as on-time relative to their same-aged peers; whereas the majority of Caribbean Black girls perceived their development as earlier than their same-aged peers. The results indicated that girls who perceived that their pubertal development was earlier than their same-aged peers reported more general and racial discrimination experiences.
本研究使用了具有全国代表性的非裔美国人和加勒比黑人青少年女性样本，考察了相对同龄人感知的青春期时间与歧视经历之间的关系。参与者包括参加全国生活青少年调查（NSAL-A）的 607 名女孩，年龄在 13 至 17 岁之间。大多数非裔美国女孩认为自己的发育与同龄伙伴同步；而大多数加勒比黑人女孩则认为自己的发育早于同龄伙伴。结果表明，认为自己的青春期发育早于同龄伙伴的女孩报告了更多的一般和种族歧视经历。
